I decided to take 3 friends who don't know each other very well out for a night and picked pipa with some reservation after reading poor reviews. My doubts were cleared immediately, the host was friendly and yes they suggest the pitcher of sangria before you look at the menu but you should take it anyway! The food wasn't great (but I'm admitely not a fan of anything other than bland food- so perhaps that's a good thing!) but the 3 chocolate desert dish was divine. The waitstaff doesn't rush you. The decor would have given us enough to talk about had everyone not gotten along well!
Pros: lively, great waitstaff
Cons: a bit dark, crowded
